Badger Gate And Attached Barns

Badger Gate and the attached barns are a house and barns dating from the 18th century. The buildings feature datestones reading "TWS/1747" on the barn and "TW 1761" on a front plaque. They are constructed of coursed stone rubble with some ashlar and have slate roofs. The house is two storeys tall and has three bays, with the first bay recessed, possibly indicating an earlier construction, and a hipped roof. The second and fourth bays have quoins. The windows are sashed with vertical glazing bars and horns, framed with ashlar surrounds. The entrance to the third bay features an architrave, frieze, and pediment. Above this entrance is a blind window with two panels; the top panel may have been a sundial and is now painted with a date of 1966, while the lower panel is inscribed: "BADGER GATE WAS/BUILT IN THE YEAR 1781/BY JOHN WEARING". The house has gable-end stacks and a cross-axial stack. The right return of the house includes pigeon loft openings in the gable. The rear wing has three windows on the east side, one of which is sashed with glazing bars, and a lean-to porch on the west side. The inner entrance at the rear of the house has a date of 1761, and there is a lean-to outshut with a lateral stack and pentice. The attached barn has two later wings to the east, and to the west, there is a segmental-headed barn door and a projecting barn topped with a ball finial. There is an outshut under a catslide roof to the south, which includes a passage to the barn entrance and flanking entrances with chamfered openings, along with a 1747 datestone to the left featuring foliage trail decoration. The north side has cow house entrances and windows, including one with a chamfered opening, and a winnowing door with a flat arch.
